animals are so perceptive, if you have that"knack" with them none is needed.youre so right about communication.im experiencing a communication breakdown with someone at the moment...they are "hearing" my words but not listening.ive rearranged the words trying over and over and its not working.sometimes nothing works and i know it has to be a flow back and forth, not one way with misinterpretations because they arent truly listening.

It's a nice thought isn't it? Communication fixing people... if only it was that easy. People will NOT listen due to their silly religious beliefs, beliefs drilled into them by teachers, parents, doctors, anyone with any authority.

I've tried, during a heated debate I always try to provide a valid point, backed by facts with complete understanding from both sides. Too bad most people are too ignorant/stupid to communicate like a human. Or the fact is they just don't care, they would rather act like animals and tear each other up. That's fine too, just keep me out of it.

I found it very curious, as a 6 year old or so,that i really want to understand LIFE as suchit was a must for me, i was frustrated as a child from this environment, for i did not understand the casue and effect, something was hidden from me and i thought, those must be people motives, which i do not know.. and yes, this was the missing element for me..

From these child dreams nothing changed to this day.I think in the same way, with LIFE in the clouds, so fragile, so strong and noble at times.

Do you understand that i love you ?people ?

Over all those influences shaping our minds, i still know what is it like inside, for i wanted to know exactly this, our motives and that what drives them in us.

(associations, relating to experiences, ..i know i speak the same all over again..bored ha ? :D but you see, thats me, i wanted this, and for me, it is worth observing)

free your mind and heart to the shining and winding gridwork which connects us all, to all, to eachother, forming this lattice of knowing; love; purpose, the heart all heart beating their drum in time to the glorious symphony of voices, beautiful voices, some small yet proud others so loud as to be unknowable, beyond deafening, simply, silent; skies

the peace, like drowning, breathing in water and going to sleep, but you are Awake, and you go to the Tree not because you want to sit but because it calls you, it is you

The problem is you are debating incorrectly. Whenever you debate anyone in any argument, what is effectively happening is that person is throwing the millions of ideas/experiences/beliefs they have at your handful of points. They are refuting a couple of your ideas with everything they know to be true. That is setup to failure from the start.

If you wish to have success, two things must happen: First, you must debate with people who are willing to listen and learn. Second, you must show them the process of reaching your conclusion as opposed to just stating the result. If you can walk them through the process, they "learn" the concepts with you. Only then do you have a remote chance of success.
